Ovarian cancer was the eighth most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 2022. The global age-standardized incidence rate of ovarian cancer decreased from 7.22/100,000 to 6.71/100,000 from 1990 to 2021. However, incidence trends varied…

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and metabolic and reproductive outcomes across different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes.MethodsIn this retrospecti…

Females with iron overload suffer from follicular dysplasia, and effective therapeutic strategies for preserving fertility remain lacking. As a natural aliphatic polyamine, spermidine exerts antioxidant activity and plays an anti-ferroptosi…

Bile reflux, resulting from pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), not only alters the chemical of bile but also constitutes a significant risk factor for the occurrence and development of gallbladder cancer. In previous studies, the authors iden…

Curcumol (Cur) has been found to be useful in improving Endometriosis (EMS), however its mechanism of action is still not completely understood. Based on this, the current study was carried out to investigate the mechanism of Cur on the inv…
